Did Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Trending Miss A Trick?
A Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Trending producer responds to a listener’s compliant that they should have ad-dressed the issue of how Africa is perceived by the rest of the world.
Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Trending is the weekly World Service programme which reflects what people are talking about on social media. On this week’s Over To You listener, Sterling Cox from New York voices his concerns about a recent item to producer Kate Lamble. He believes they missed an opportunity in discussing the pressing issue of the broad-brush per-ception people assert on African countries. It’s in relation to the #lintonlies story about the storm surrounding the publication of a Scottish woman’s gap-year memoirs about her time in Zambia.
Also, documentary Women With The Right Stuff has been getting lots of you talking this week. A range of listeners from around the world give their thoughts on the programme.
